Chapter 10
'This is not good' Zero thought. He shivered involuntarily when he sees Kaname and Kaito glaring at Hugo and in the blink of an eye. Kaname and Kaito attack Hugo, who was still smirking.
He doesn't have time to move when they attacked him. 'Did he really want to die that badly?' Zero hissed.
Kaname grab his throat and slammed him into the nearest tree while Kaito pointed his gun at Hugo's head. The pureblood was in front Hugo, clutching his throat painfully and almost choking the breath out of him. He could hear the click of a gun to his right.
Kaname wanted to tear Hugo's throat apart then tear him piece by piece.
"How dare you?" He growled warningly.
"How dare you touch him" His grip on Hugo's throat tightens a little.
A little more and surely Hugo's neck would break.
Hugo just smirked and calmly raised his hands in surrender mode. He doesn't seem to be afraid that a pureblood and a hunter wouldn't hesitate to kill him there and now. Instead he is supposed to calm them down; he added fuel to the fire when he challenged them in nonverbal way by smirking and raising an eyebrow to them.
Kaname and Kaito growled at him. They were both ready to rip the throat and blow the head off of the man who dared to smirk at them when they are already and totally piss off.
Before they could kill the smirking bastard they hear… "STOP" Zero shouted. He can already feel the headache coming.
The Pureblood and Hunter turned around to see Zero, closing his eyes. He took a deep breath and calmly said "Kaname... Kaito… stop this nonsense." He didn't have time to finish when Kaito hissed "Nonsense?"
Zero glared at him "Yes... It's nonsense. The both of you act like a child. Hugo was only playing"
Hugo's smirks widen "Yes, I'm just playing. I'm sorry Zero-sama for acting imbecile in front of your suitors" Kaname and Kaito glared Hugo deadly.
Zero narrowed his eyes at Hugo, waiting for him to continue.
"And I will not do it again. Honest." His voice is sincere but his eyes were full of mischief.
With a sigh, Zero muttered "You can let go of him, guys"
Kaname and Kaito reluctantly stepped back and released Hugo from the tree. Their eyes gave him a silent promise that if they saw him again do that, they won't hesitate to tear him apart.
Hugo smiled at them "Zero is lucky to have you guys" and with that, he walk away and never looked back.
"He's weird" Kaito muttered for the past few seconds of awkward silence.
"Yeah, he is" Zero agreed.
"Zero…" Kaname said but he was interrupted when Seiren suddenly appeared from the top of the tree.
"Kaname-sama…"
"Not now"
"But it's important" Seiren insist.
It must be very important if Seiren insisted.
"It better be important" he grumbled like a child.
Kaname looked at her for a moment and turned back to face Zero making eye contact.
Kaname requested "I'll talk to you later" then walk back to the Moon Dorm leaving Kaito and Zero alone.
Zero sighed again and watched the full moon shining upon them.
Kaito cleared his throat to catch Zero's attention.
"You shouldn't do that to Hugo" Zero spoke softly while looking him in the eye.
Kaito touch his hair and look away.
"I know but he shouldn't do that to you"
"I can take care of myself. Thank you."
"Yeah, I noticed"
Zero glare at him for that.
Kaito stared at him and said sincerely "I love you Zero"
'This now or never' he thought.
"Kaito" Zero spoke softly.
Kaito took a step forward and his gaze never wavering. He stopped in front of him, and he said it again "I love you, Zero"
Zero lifts his right hand and cupped Kaito's cheek, the eye contact never broken.
"I love you too…" Kaito's eyes widen.
'Really?'
"But only as my big brother" Zero's gaze was apologetic and sad.
Kaito breathe hitch for a moment. He closes his eyes. 'I never get the chance in first place. Huh?' he thought miserably.
He forces a smile "It's okay. I can live with that"
"Kaito… I"
"You really do love him"
"Kaito… I…" Zero didn't know what to say.
Kaito's face was miserable, his emotions that he tried to keep hidden were revealed.
He stepped back and turned away. "I'll be okay. Just remember that I will always love you." he walks away and look back, he didn't want Zero to see his tears and he didn't need Zero's pity.
True to his words, he will always love Zero and protect him from harm even though Zero didn't feel the same way as he did.
"Kaito.. Wait..." He hears Zero's call but he just waves his hand to say he will be okay.
Kaname is sitting in his usual chair. His expression was emotionless as he stared at Ichijou, who was smiling calmly and Aidou who started to fidget.
Seiren was at his right side. She was wearing her usual expression.
"What is this about?" Kaname asked calmly.
"We found out that there are level E's who were currently in town" Aidou answered.
Kaname raised an eyebrow "It's normal. I don't see what's the problem? We already agreed that we also help to eliminate the level E's"
It was Ichijou's turn to answer, his expression is serious "Yes, But we found a large amount of level E's in town. When I say large, it means week by week they are more. Some of the hunters went missing and some of our nobles were injured by the hunt. Not only that, these level E's had unusual strength. We don't know where they get it but were investigating it. Kaname, I have a bad feeling about this"
Kaname stands up and walk in front of the window, gazing the moon outside.
"Investigate it and kill all the level E's that you find. Did the council and the hunters know about these?"
"Yes. The Chairman Cross was the one who said that we should report this to you"
"I see"
"Should we tell Zero-sama?"
Kaname shakes his head "No, We shouldn't bother Zero. All of your reports should pass it to me. I'll handle this"
All of the nobles bow to him and said "Yes, Kaname-sama"
Yuuki was alone.
She felt so alone.
Now that she was the one who broke the engagement, she felt empty.
She loves Kaname. Her love for him was so much more. She will sacrifice everything for him. She would die for him.
The never ending tears.
The Loneliness.
The Emptiness.
She couldn't handle it all.
She thought she could let go but she can't.
She would give everything for Kaname to love her back. But she also knows that it was the right thing to do. The right decision.
She locked herself up in her room, she isolated herself. She didn't know what time it is or how many tears she shed. All she could feel was loneliness and emptiness.
She never notices the dark aura surrounding her, never notices the blood eyes staring at her and observing her, never notices the figure in front of her and never notice the maniac grin that was given to her.
"Kuran Yuuki" the dark figure spoke, his voice is cold as ice.
Yuuki head snapped up and stared at the suffering stare of what's in front of her.
The man was covered in cape. The only thing she sees was the cruel smile that he sent for her.
She can't speak and can't yell for help. She felt numb. She can't move her body.
"Kuran Yuuki, you love Kuran Kaname" It's not a question but a statement.
"You would do anything to gain that love your craving for right?"
She felt herself nod. She felt like she was being hypnotized but she didn't care, as long as she will gain the love she wants she would do everything and anything.
"There is only one way to gain it" a pause.
'I would do everything' she thought desperately.
"Kill Kiryuu Zero. That's the only way"
Shall be Continue?
Review please.
